Wood Fence in Billerica, MA

"Jim Marconi came out and did our estimate. Very responsive to our requests, gave great suggestions for how to save $ while still fulfilling our fencing needs. Their quote was a few thousand less than Northeast Fence. We had to wait about 3 months for the material to come in, but not their fault. (Thanks pandemic) When they finally came out, it was at the start of an awful 90+ heat wave. The guys worked in extreme heat with little shade in our yard. They did amazing work and we couldn't be more pleased with the results."

"I found this company online upon doing a Google search, and based on the positive Yelp reviews, I was quick to reach out for a quote for a new fence as well as some repair work for an existing fence and gate. The owner of the company responded with expediency despite being on vacation, and was prompt to come by upon his return. Of the four quotes I obtained from different companies, I went with him because it was clear he was not only an expert in the business, but an excellent person to do business with. He was reliable, kind and trustworthy the whole way through. His crew did an exemplary crafting and installing the new fencing and a custom built gate in one area, and replacing damaged posts and a damaged gate in another area. I have high standards for quality and customer service, and Jim and his team fully delivered. The work was done last fall, and one of the new pressure treated posts did not fare well in the winter. Upon reaching out to Jim with photos and an explanation, he had his crew come out within less than one week, and replaced the post on the spot, without any issue. I am beyond impressed and grateful, and that is why I am writing this review. I am hoping to pay it forward and backward to them and to anyone else who may be looking for a top quality small local business owner to do business with."

"As a new home owner we couldn't be happier with our new 6' chain link fence. We had 3 quotes and Sentry was our favorite. No issues what so ever. Jim the owner was great to talk to, responses were prompt. Fence looks and feels great, gunna last a long time. Thanks alot. Highly recommend this fence company!"

"Sentry Fence and Iron, owned by Jim Marconi, was a true pleasure to do business with.

As part of a larger construction project, I was having a deck replaced and needed a privacy fence mounted to a concrete retaining wall. Jim came out to do the estimate the morning after I called. His workers were at my home within a few days...They installed the steel support posts into the concrete wall so the contractor could complete the deck. The fence was then up/completed in 2 weeks, just before Christmas.

Jim is 'easy going', very fair with his estimates and trustworthy. His men were hardworking, detail oriented and left my property looking perfect.

It's not often that you find a contractor that delivers on his promise of quality and time but Jim Marconi did just that. I highly recommend this company for any fencing needs you may have."

"Called several companies off of Yelp list and got estimates. Jim from Sentry was the first to respond and came out within a day in early February. Very professional and thorough in his assessment and specific in the work To be done. His estimate was in the middle but his commitment to his company and product was reassuring.

Agreed to the work last week and his crew was here within 10 days. High quality product -not a big box store average stockade. Crew was on time, hard working, shoveled snow away and repaired a gate to meet current code standards. Cleaned area before leaving as well. Job was done in day and a half and we are more than satisfied with the finished product and look. Highly recommend Sentry Fence."

"Very happy with my new fence. I had 2 different people refer me to Sentry, so I added them to the list to have them come out and take a look at my job. Jim came right out within 2 days, arrived promptly when stated and quickly measured discussed what I wanted and was able to give me a quote on the spot (the other company I worked with was not able to provide a quote for several days). After I had it quoted out, Sentry was the best deal of the bunch and Jim was very helpful and knew what he was talking about, so I decided to use them.

They were able to schedule the job and get to me quite quickly, the product quality was very good (I did a cedar fence with pressure treated posts). The crew that came out to do the fence arrived as stated, where courteous and careful and asks questions whenever they thought they needed input. They were willing to do the extra work that others specifically excluded in their wordy contract, including some light trimming of small trees and branches that were in the way. Jim checked on the job as it was happening, everything was left neat and tidy when they left and the fence turned out wonderful. I could not be happier with the entire process and the price I paid."

Rob R.

"I highly recommend Jim and his hard working crew. From the initial phone call to the finish product was flawless. Jim kept me updated on all phases of the project. I had one fence company that never called me back, and 2 that took a lot longer than they told me it would take to get me an estimate. That's what gets my business, reliability and a reasonable price. Thanks Jim, Tony, Chris and the rest of the guys."

Scott T.

"What an awesome job, great bunch of guys. They installed my fence, well over 200 feet in 2 days. Jim was very polite and easy to deal with. Thanks for everything Jim!"

Addison C.

"We got our fence from Sentry fence over 5 years ago and we still receive compliments on it. Our experience with Sentry fence was extremely positive and comfortable! We would recommend Sentry Fence and Iron to any one looking for a fence for their home!"

Kim M.

"Highly recommend! Right from the very first call this team was professional. Had a sales rep at our house less than 12 hours after a quote request. Ryan was super helpful with any questions I had. Within a week we had Gary and Aidan installing day one for our wood fence. They worked quickly and professionally and finished the whole job in a day and a half. Final product is beyond expectations. Wish we would have done this sooner! Thank you guys!"

Bridget D.

"Best price and installed our wrought iron fence in two days including an three gates, one of which is an equipment gate. Amazing!"

Lisa H.

"I had over 300’ of quality cedar fencing installed. Sentry Fence exceeded my expectations in every way and would highly recommend to anyone!!"

Ken D.

"Very responsive. Came up with several options, all well priced. Made our choice and a week later it was done. They arrived on time, left the area looking great!"

Chris H.

"These guys were fantastic from start to finish! Jim and his men worked hard, efficient, and quick. The fastest to provide a quote, the best quote out of 4 other companies, gorgeous 6 foot vinyl fencing, professional, and prompt! They tore down our fence and put the other one up all in under 8 hours! Did I mention how stunning it looks! Thanks guys!! Here are some before and after transformation photos! We can’t wait to get the driveway side done next year with you guys! Thanks again!"

Andria L.

"Jim Marconi came within a day after I called him. He gave me the estimate right away for $3395 after deducting the Angie's list discount. This price was similar to the other estimate I received. About 3 weeks later, Tony and his crew of two other men installed the Interstate Brand Open Spindle Straight Top Vinyl Fence. Tony was very experienced and has worked with Jim for many years. The did a very good job. The fence is great. I would recommend this company without reservation."

Liane C.

"I called Jim and he gave me an estimate over the phone and made an appointment for the following week to come out and measure it and talk with us. When he measured the distance it was a little less than I had told him since we decided not to have the fence go into the woods. He gave us a written estimate on the spot and we gave him a deposit. A couple of weeks later the material was in and his crew came out and installed it in a day. Looks beautiful and we wished we had done it years ago. Very happy."

Ann M.

"Superb experience. Jim Marconi is as good as it can get. He arrived on time for the estimate, provided all of the important details (material and labor costs, options for materials, styles, layouts, etc.), so I could make an informed decision. He also provided me with an estimate on the spot, so no wait time! On the day of the job, I had the same great experience. The head worker Mike was just great - very patient with our questions and concerns, and took the time to walk us through the project. The other workers were just as professional and respectful. At the end of the job, they made sure to clean the property as best as possible. I honesty had no issues with this company, would work with them again, and highly recommend them to others. Thank you, Jim!"

Joshua P.

"I would highly recommend Sentry Fence Company. Jim Marconi, the owner was very responsive in returning phone calls, on time for estimate appointment, and very knowledgeable in fence installations. I had about 230 feet of wooden fencing removed and disposed of, which was then replaced with vinyl fencing. The vinyl fencing added to the appearance of my property, and in addition will improve my property's value. Sentry Fence's crew did an excellent job removing my old wooden fence, and installing a new vinyl fence. Sentry's crew worked very hard in my yard, and when they were finished, left my yard clean and in great shape. The total time for complete removal of my old wooden fence, and installation of my new vinyl fence took only two days. I am very happy with my new fence, and would highly recommend Sentry Fence."

John J.

"I had heard nothing but good things about Jim and his crew firsthand from a friend as well as positive reviews on Angie's list. Sentry wasn't the best price but they were very competitive with other bids I got. The work started about a week or so later than anticipated but once the work started it was done in about a day and a half as promised. The fence is terrific and its great to have piece of mind that my kids and pets can now safely enjoy our backyard."

Bryan D.

"I would highly recommend this company; and I will add that I am probably one of the pickiest guys around. Jim (the owner) was ultra responsive in terms of returning calls, showed up when he said he would, gave me a fair price and the guys did an outstanding job with the install. I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

Christopher Z.

"Jim was great to work with. He is very responsive and knowledgeable. The guys worked hard through the day to remove the old fence and install the new one. The job went great and we love our new fence. The guys paid close attention to detail and did a fine job! Wouldn't hesitate to use these guys again or recommend to family/friends."

S S.

"I am the type of person who researches everything before I buy and or have a service done. I got 3 estimates from 3 reputable fencing companies on the North Shore, Sentry pricing was very good and most affordable, but without a doubt Jim was the most honest and knowledge and forth coming with information regarding the job, Which made Sentry an easy choice. Jim showed up the first day to introduce his crew go over the job etc... His crew was great to deal with and left my yard clean and in great shape. The quality of the fence is fantastic, we couldn't be happier. I also received a call several days later to make sure we were happy with everything. I would definitely recommend Sentry Fence."

Bryan D.

"Jim came out shortly after I contacted him to give an estimate. He arrived on time, was professional, and quickly provided quotes for several different options. The quotes were firm, complete, and did not have a lot of contingency fees included as was the case with other contractors. Jim also agreed to give us an Angie's list discount that had actually expired. We agreed to have a cedar stockade fence installed to replace a damaged chain link one. On the day the project was scheduled his team, Tony and Gary, arrived right on time at 8:30 in the morning and worked steadily on a sweltering July day with high temps and humidity. They were careful of neighbors plants, precise in getting the fence level and on line, and ensured it was sturdy. The fence looks great."

DAVID H.

"I would highly recommend this company. They were extremely professional. They were punctual, did exactly what was agreed upon, and cleaned the entire area. I had my stockade fence replaced with a chainlink. I added winged slats. I also had bollards added behind fence because my neighbors would often hit the old stockade. Sentry fence suggested that I add the bollards and I am so very happy I did. Price was reasonable for such a beautiful fence. Very happy with the work."

Maria S.

"The provider was very professional. They came right out and gave a great estimate, and helped me decide on the type of fencing needed for our yard. They were one of the best estimates, for better materials. They called and told me they would be able to finish work ahead of schedule, and were great about completing the work. Great company!"

Margarett

"The job went great and was done pretty much on time. At the time I agreed to have Sentry Fence perform the work, Rick estimated that the install would take place during the week of May 20th. It was not performed until the following week, but, that worked out great. The crew was very professional and cleaned up upon completion."

Dennis C.

"It was excellent. It was great communication and they were very responsive. They were also flexible and proactive. They were just great and we were pretty impressed, but I thought they were a little on the high side."

Nathaniel C.

"Excellent! Rush was prompt with initial proposal. Work was done within one week. Crew was great! Included removal of old fence."

Maureen P.

"They did an excellent job and were very fairly priced after receiving quite a few estimates. He showed up when he was supposed to and had a great crew. My yard is a bit challenging because it is rocky but they did a great job and got all of the gates put in correctly."

Deborah A.

"I called 3 fence companies to obtain estimates. Sentry called back within one day. Of the other two companies one never responded and the other called back about 2 weeks later. The gentleman, Rick,from Sentry was friendly and listened to what we needed to have done. He made an appt to come out for an estimate a day or so later. He arrived exactly on time ( in fact 5 minutes early!!). He listened while we explained our plan and he made some suggestions on the repair work. We felt the price was fair and gave him 1/3 down. He gave us an approximate time for work to begin. The work was done right around the time he stated. The crew arrived on time, worked through a sweltering hot day and finished around 4pm. The yard was left in a clean condition. One item had to be finished the next day, a gate, and it was finished early in the morning. I gave the remaing amount due to the crew that day. My husband and I were very pleased with this job from start to finish. I would definitely use this company again."
